Injections vs. Pills

I give up......

That's the spirit.

Well I wasn't able to access the information here...

I meant give up with the notion of trying to access a list of injectable HRT's...

I gave you the important information you need.  Anything that's made with 17 beta estradiol will do.  It's bioidentical, not conjugated, and IMO is the best for you.

I'm sorry I can't spoonfeed this anymore without being zapped by the moderators here.  Talking about dosages and specific brands will get you in trouble here.  I won't go there.

I think we are on a different wavelenth here...

I only wanted the basic information as to how many types of injectable HRT was commercially available. I wasn't asking for dosages....

There's two types of injectables,

The first is,

Estradiol Valerate EV (which is not exactly like Beta estradiol, since the valeric acid
needs to be cleaved off before the body can use the estradiol, but this is
very easy for the body to do and thus there is little practical difference in effect
and risk)

I suppose they use it instead of injecting estradiol because the cracking of the
valeric acid is not all done at the same time which probably provides less of
a peak effect as putting estradiol into your bloodstream.

The second one is,

Estradiiol Cypionate (10 times more concentrated and longer to metabolise) EC
(EC because its so concentrated and longer lasting, has a higher propensity to be
abused by TS since its possible to get very very high serum levels of estrogen with it).
EC is also dirt cheap btw. At normal levels, it would actually be a better choice than
EV, but since its so often misused, doctor prever to give EV.

Thanks so much Keira. I wonder why it took so long for someone to answer my question?

Isn't she wonderful ? If nobody else knows, Keira Knows! 
Berliegh, I think nobody replied because they either don't know or are timid about if they can answer you. I didn't answer you  because I don't know, If I did I would have.  The only one that I knew was the estradoil valerate.
